From the little dinosaur to the knight Rost
The draughtsman Jörg Hilbert- 27.11.2020 - 5.4.2021
A knight should be strong, brave and noble. Jörg Hilbert thought that was too stereotypical and invented Ritter Rost instead: weak, timid and rusty. In the special exhibition, the clumsy knight, who now has adventures in more than 30 children's books, radio plays and films, braves his way through the Museum im Zeughaus. Lady Bö, King Bleifuss, Prince Protz, Witch Verstexe and many other characters accompany their friend or rival.
The little dinosaur from Hilbert's first children's book, which was never published, is also on show for the first time. This one is closely connected with Innsbruck, because the originals were kept for decades by Hilbert's great role model and patron, Paul Flora, before the family made them available for the exhibition. Later, the little dinosaur evolved into the dragon Koks, who is now up to mischief together with Ritter Rost.
The exhibition invites adults and children from the age of four to the museum - it remains to be seen who enjoys the drawings more.
Musical Theatre: Father Christmas the Pig
Because a Father Christmas is absent due to illness, a pig takes over the job as a temporary Father Christmas. The wonderfully crazy Christmas tale "Der Schweihnachtsmann" by children's belly writer Jörg Hilbert lovingly parodies Christmas rituals. Under the direction of music and dance teacher Antonia Neussl, the story was dramaturgically staged as musical theatre and, due to the Corona situation, can be seen and heard as a stream from 23.12. to 28.12.2020.
